Abstract
In Delaware water has always been in the news. Most of our state is on an island. Our towns were founded beside the water. Our state and the river share the same name. Over the past decade, we’ve had three droughts and three 100-year floods. At the coast, on the farm, and in our back yard, clean and plentiful water supplies are necessary to sustain our economy and the environment.
At the Water Resources Agency (IPA-WRA), water has always been our first name. Our work supporting the public service, education, and research land-grant mission of the University of Delaware is funded by you—the public—and the governments that you elect. On campus we provide assistance to governments in Delaware and the Delaware Valley based on sound science and public policy ideals.
Today, in the first of a series of newsletters, we’d like to introduce our staff and students to you. They have experience in many areas—planning, GIS, natural resources, policy, and engineering. So stop by to see us in Newark or Lewes. Or just call us...IPA-WRA.
